Purpose

I ask the question

All for what?

Comes the answer

All for not

Can this be?

Can't I see?

Something greater in my destiny?

Then comes this answer loud and strong

There is no right, there is no wrong

Though black the skies

And all hope lost

As time flies 

No matter the cost

The happiness you to others have passed

It's the only thing that will last

The only meaning to the life you live

Is all the love that you give

'Purpose'
Soren,
This was a good reminder that the love we give does mean something and in so many ways it can be shown by our actions. It is not a light thing to give time, service and patience for others. So glad to of read this your first submission.
Bless you!

going back through your catalogue to find you first post. this one i liked, and your existential ideas are found here too. though you have undoubtedly grown over the years, your talent in word-craft are still evident. 'The happiness you to others have passed / It's the only thing that will last' is a great couplet. it is just a shame not many will read this since it gets lot in the timeline, for it has a very profound message. it certainly resonated with me.

Ern I thank you deeply for the review of this old piece. You are so right old poems are buried in the dust of time and I am glad you dug this one up. Your words of support are most appreciated. Iam anxiously awaiting your next poem

I wanted to see where you have journeyed from .. I made a point of it .. and was not, in the least disappointed .. I'm glad I came here. Neville

You are too kind Neville, you have dug up one of my old scribbles that I had almost forgotten but that I still feels holds weight for me. Thanks again friend.

[Neville]
